They will last over 12 hours at a decent brightness in the Infinity light. In my case, I used the Dorcy heavy duty ones that came with my turtlelite II. I assume they're just regular carbon zinc ones that are the usual standard for the "heavy duty" type.
 
The only thing you need to watch out for with "heavy duty" batteries is to not leave them in any flashlight that will set up for a period of months because zinc-carbon batteries are much more prone to leak over long periods of time. Heat from the sun ruins zinc-carbon batteries more quickly also, so I wouldn't leave them in a flashlight that will set up in the glove box either. Hope this info helps.
